Just finished up the "free play" of this. Not bad, kinda neat to see old friends, so-to-speak, in the game. I think the wife is going to buy it for me for Fathers Day.

Any cow levels?

Yup, wife got me it on Friday. She's playing the free version, we'll see how long till I have to get her the game.

With good loots to boot. I have been getting repeatedly one-shot in Inferno Act II. It gets frustrating, stuff that dealt a lot of damage in Act I is useless here. My friends and I have been farming the pony level for gold and gear lately.

Anyone still playing? This latest patch really polished the game quite a bit!

I haven't played for some weeks - since they released a patch that basically made all the item drops useless for the character being played on in order to support and encourage the "marketplace" concept (introduce real money into the system and it goes to shit fast)

The way the game was so intimately tied into having to use the marketplace in order to get any decent equipment turned me off.

I saw the marketplace as cheating in the first instance , and the item drops external to it were ****ing dreadful vs ones character level and progression.

I buy a single player ****ing game and I don't want to have to be tied into some bullshit online commodity trading exercise in order to progress.

Sorry about the language , but blizzard really ****ed up badly.

Blizzard really did make some disastrous mistakes. It was pretty disturbing when they even admitted that the game was never even play tested through Inferno. The item drop rates and absurd randomization of traits and their quality was disastrous as well. A lot of it's been polished up with patch 1.04 though, especially drop rates, item traits, legendary items, and the paragon system. I honestly never even touched the auction house until I first made it into inferno. Where I pretty much hit a brick wall and had to mess with finding better gear and skill build. Thankfully stuff was selling than fast enough for stupid prices, I basically just flipped my own gear into 10x better stuff over a few days.

The games pretty fun now though, for me at least. I've got all the classes either in hell or inferno and have actually beat it in Inferno with one of them.

I still haven't found one of the pieces to make that darn staff, nor the Hell or Inferno plans yet.
